CAUTION
To avoid potential death or serious
injury when the front passenger occu-
pant classification system does not
detect the conditions correctly, ob-
serve the following.
D
Make sure the front passenger oc-
cupant classification indicator light
indicates "ON" when using the seat
belt extender for the front passen-
ger seat. If the indicator light indi-
cates "OFF", disconnect the extend-
er tongue from the seat belt buckle,
then reconnect the seat belt. Recon-
nect the seat belt extender after
making sure the indicator light indi-
cates "ON". If you use the seat belt
extender while the indicator light
indicates "OFF", the front passen-
ger airbag and side airbag on the
front passenger side may not acti-
vate correctly, which could cause
death or serious injury in the event
of collision.

D
Do not recline the front passenger
seatback so far that it touches a
rear seat. This may cause
"OFF" indicator to be illuminated,
which indicates that the passen-
ger's airbags will not deploy in the
event of a severe accident. If the
seatback touches the rear seat, re-
turn the seatback to a position
where it does not touches the rear
seat.
Keep the front passenger seatback
as upright as possible when the ve-
hicle is moving. Reclining the seat-
back excessively may lessen the ef-
fectiveness of the seat belt system.
D
If an adult sits in the front passen-
ger seat, the occupant classification
indicator light should indicate "ON".
If the "OFF" indicator is illumina-
ted, ask the passenger to sit up
straight, well back in the seat, feet
on the floor, and with the seat belt
worn correctly. If the "OFF" indica-
tor still remains illuminated, either
ask the passenger to move to the
rear seat, or if that is not possible,
move the front passenger seat fully
rearward.
D
Wear the seat belt properly.
D
Make sure the front passenger's
the
seat belt tab has not been left in-
serted into the buckle before some-
one sits in the front passenger
seat.
D
Do not apply a heavy load to the
front passenger seat.
D
Do not put weight on the front pas-
senger seat by putting your hands
or feet on the front passenger seat
seatback from the rear passenger
seat.
D
Do not let a rear passenger lift the
front passenger seat with their feet
or press on the seatback with their
legs.
D
Do not put objects under the front
passenger seat.
D
Child restraint systems installed on
the rear seat should not contact the
front seatbacks.
